    Wild Dogs part on EBay UK from the Netherlands?

    I’m hunting for a replacement cover for the centre cubby on my 990 and stumbled upon this item listed on EBay UK, apparently selling from the Netherlands. Very curious. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/126261507919

    990 Adv rear shock replacement

    My 2008 990 Adventure’s rear shock decided to relieve itself of oil half way into Old Mill Drift recently. Granted I was loaded with camping stuff but it’s premature in my opinion. This happened a few years ago and I got @superfoxi to re”do” it for me, but I think maybe it’s time for a...

    Looking for a nice camp spot around Sabie

    I'm looking for a nice, quiet, isolated spot to patch a tent anywhere in the Sabie/Graskop area, preferably with a lekker view. I don't want to be surrounded by caravans and ablution blocks...

    Anyone know if I can get through here? (Crystal Springs Mpumalanga)

    Planning an overnight trip to Sabie (or something) and trying to get creative with the route. Is this route through Crystal Springs passable? Difficulty? I'm all for "just go and see" but I don't think I'll have time to double-back if it's closed to bikes/public. I have a feeling @Noneking...

    Taking my bike to the UK

    We're packing up & shipping out to the UK in July/August and I've decided to take my 990 Adventure with me. My father in law has also asked me to take his BMW R9T. Both bikes are not financed. All the online research I've done ends up at "fill out this form for a quote" - something I don't want...

    Wanted KTM 790/890/1x90 mirrors

    I’ll take a mirror or two in just about any (functional) condition. Let me know what you have. I’m just waiting for confirmation from KTM on the pricing for a new pair for my 990 and we can’t talk pricing from there. Cheers

    State of the R74? (N3 alternative)

    I’m taking the family for a relaxed drive to a spot on Nottingham Road and figured the R74 would be a more relaxed/interesting option than the N3. Mountain Passes SA has a July 2022 update that says there are potholes and a section has “collapsed and slid down the hill. Proceed with caution.”...

    What's St Lucia like these days?

    I'm looking at taking the family (wife, 5yr old and toddler) on a loop in January: Joburg -> Wakkerstroom -> St Lucia -> Durbs (for uShaka) -> Midlands somewhere -> Giants Castle/Golden Gate -> Joburg The only bit I'm really not sure about is St Lucia. I'm hearing conflicting reports. I...

    Have you lost your BMW GPS?

    Just cross-posting from another forum. BMW motorbike GPS found in Garsfontein PTA area. We'd love to reunite it with its owner. Let me know if you've lost yours recently; Obviously you're going to need to prove ownership somehow. Let me know if there's a better place to post this on WD.

    Someone out there got a nice video of me crossing a deep river on the Motul Tour of Legends ride - I'd really like to have the video but I didn't ever stop to meet the guy  :-\ Anyone know who this is with the phone? https://youtu.be/KR0rQbjzIq8

    Another “recommend a tent” thread

    Looking for a good 3 man tent with a big vestibule. I need sheltered “outside” space for muddy boots etc. and potentially cooking a quick meal in bad weather. Weight doesn’t really matter since it’s only for use on bike trips. I’d much rather have something more durable with better weather...

    Wanted: Pannier racks for KTM 990 Adventure

    It's for soft luggage so almost anything will do - not worried about brand, box compatibility etc. Can come and collect in a 100km radius around Joburg otherwise I'll organise a courier to collect. Let me know!  :thumleft:

    Wesbank Refund

    Yesterday I received an SMS from Wesbank saying my vehicle finance account was billed for fees that they shouldn't have, and that I should phone them to arrange a refund. I don't know the technicalities of it, but long story short I'm expecting just over R11,000 back from them in the coming...

    Anyone using these soft pannier racks?

    I need to mount a pair of Wolfman soft panniers to my 990 and found these racks: https://www.locomoto.co.za/ktm-950-990-adventure/674-trtec-adventure-soft-bag-pannier-frames-ktm-950990-adventure.html They look great but I can't see what's going on with the top luggage rack. I need to figure...

    Looking at moving JHB -> Franschoek - what do I need to know?

    My wife and I have wanted to get out of Joburg for a long time. Both of our jobs are 100% work from home now (have been for two years) so we're thinking it's a good time to start putting the puzzle pieces together to take the leap in a year or so. Franschoek looks like an ideal spot. Property...

    600km ON-road loop out of Joburg?

    A good friend has a medical issue that means he can’t ride dirt for now, possibly for a very long time  :( I want to take him on a nice tar loop out of joburg; give or take 600km for the day. I’m clueless with tar routes though. Any suggestions? Something twisty preferably. Just not Harties...
